In the new issue of The Chap, jun/July, there is an interview with a chap called Colin Bacon. Seems he was a pal of Vivian Mackerell. He has written a book about the great mans life, up for preorder on Amazon now! It's called Vivian and I. The interview is good, so hope the book will be too.

Reminds me of a similar mag in the mid-to-late 90s which was called 'The Idler'. It came out nearly every month, before becoming a £25-a-pop annual* in the early 2000s. I think it is still going actually. It even featured a really good interview with Bruce circa '95/'96. When it went to its £25-an-issue formula I stopped buying it.

Thanks again, Drugaddled. By chance, I went into a large W H Smiths this morning in a local town and asked the magazine manager if he'd heard of it. He nearly threw me out of the shop. Seemed to think it was gay porn.
